Asked Questions
How do I get a sports medical certificate?
Simply complete the online questionnaire and complete the payment. After purchasing your medical certificate online, a doctor will review the information provided, and where appropriate will provide you with a certificate for your event. There is no need to have a telemedicine or online consultation to receive a medical letter. Our Doctors may call or email you directly if they have any additional questions.
Can I get a sports medical letter without seeing a doctor?
You do not always need to see a doctor to get one. Our revolutionary service allows you to be assessed by one of our doctors without needing an appointment, simply by uploading your concerns and evidence through our forms. One of our doctors will then consider your medical history, current fitness, and any potential risks associated with your condition for the event before issuing your medical certificate. You will then receive the letter directly to your inbox.
Can you sign the Paris Marathon issued medical certificate?
Absolutely. At the end of our consultation form you'll be given the opportunity to upload any specific forms you need signed. Our doctors regularly sign the Paris Marathon medical certificate for participants.
What will the sports medical certificate say?
Our doctors will evaluate the information you submit and make a judgement on whether an online sports certificate is appropriate for you. If yes, the certificate will say that there are no contraindications to your participation in the sporting event. But we cannot "guarantee fitness".
What information will you require from me?
We will require you to upload:
✓ A photo / copy of your Passport or driver’s licence to confirm your identity
✓ Complete a medical questionnaire
Helpful information to have to hand when completing the form includes your blood pressure, your cholesterol level (screenshots of blood tests from your NHS app is sufficient), and medical history (this can be your summary health record available freely via your GP). These are not required for the certificate, but are very helpful for our doctors to have.
Do you provide refunds?
We always provide full refunds if we are unable to provide a sports Medical certificate in your situation, so you can submit your requests with peace of mind. Once a medical certificate has been issued we are unable to offer refunds.

Absolutely. Each letter or certificate issued will have a unique reference number and can be verified free of charge by emailing us at verify@medicalcert.co.uk.
Can you provide "full diagnostic testing?"
Since we are an online service we are do not perform such tests as ECG, urine analysis and spirometry tests. If you have received these tests elsewhere, you can upload them with your form for our doctors to review.
What would prevent me from getting a signed sports medical certificate?
Our doctors will review each case individually based on the information provided in your e-consultation form. For a healthy person with no medical issues, there is usually nothing that prevents our doctors from producing a certificate for you. If our doctors have any questions regarding your health they will contact you.
Can you sign Sports Certificates for Italian Events?
If your sporting event is in Italy, Italian law for medical sports certification requires you to undertake the following tests within 12 months of your event: a. Resting ECG and a Stress ECG b. Spirometry (a lung function/breath test) You will need to upload the results for the following tests if you would like your Italian sports medical certificate signed. These tests are easily available via various private health providers.

Key Takeaways
- Include the patient’s name, date of birth, and the dates when examinations took place to accurately identify who the medical fitness certificate refers to. These details help avoid any confusion and make sure that health assessments are correctly matched with the individual.
- The certificate must clearly confirm that an individual is in good mental and physical health. If there are any specific conditions or limitations, they need to be stated clearly. This information comes from a qualified medical practitioner which adds credibility to the document.
- Any existing physical or medical conditions that might impact an individual’s ability to perform certain tasks should definitely be mentioned in the certificate. Knowing about such conditions allows for necessary adjustments and support at work or during other activities.
- A qualified medical practitioner’s certification verifies an individual’s fitness level after conducting a thorough examination. Their endorsement confirms whether someone is fit for employment, travel, or engaging in various physical activities based on their current health status.
- Medical fitness certificates are key in reassuring employers about an employee’s ability to handle job duties safely and efficiently. They also play a critical role when traveling, engaging in adventurous activities like trekking, or complying with COVID-19 restrictions by demonstrating one’s health status.
